I would like to contact anyone who has lost relations through accidents which occurred in the shipyards of the River Wear, Sunderland.
No records exist of the men and boys who died in such tragic circumstances while working in terrible conditions. Looking for any information which would help my research.
There isn't a memorial to those who lost their lives but if my research proves popular I would like to set up a fund to provide a fitting memorial to those who died.   
An article on this subject can be seen in the Sunderland Echo dated 17th April 2008.
